Sesame One Launches Precision Software for Energy Transition Planning

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sesame Sustainability today launched Sesame One, a unified software platform that enables energy companies, utilities, and infrastructure investors to navigate the energy transition with unprecedented speed and strategic insight. The flagship platform replaces legacy spreadsheet-based planning with dynamic, real-time modeling capabilities that optimize billion-dollar investment decisions across power generation, storage, and low-carbon fuels.

Empowering Energy Leaders in a Time of Uncertainty

The energy transition is becoming more complex and policy landscapes are shifting — legacy planning tools, built for a simpler system, fall short. Today's energy leaders need adaptive, high-resolution solutions to manage risk, optimize capital, and drive resilient decarbonization strategies at scale, and capitalize on a multi-trillion-dollar annual clean energy investment opportunity.

Sesame One delivers a first-of-its-kind modeling environment that integrates power systems planning, industrial decarbonization pathways, energy supply chain optimization, and financial risk analytics—all within a visual, user-friendly interface designed for both C-suites and technical analysts.

Proven Results with Industry Leaders

Already deployed by energy giants including JERA Americas and several top-tier utilities, Sesame One is enabling faster, smarter infrastructure planning with measurably better outcomes.

"The energy transition is a high-stakes game where a poor decision can cost billions. At JERA Americas, we needed a way to cut through the noise and make investment decisions with confidence." said Greg Wilson, JERA Americas' Vice President of Science and Technology. "Sesame has dramatically improved how we analyze competing decarbonization pathways, and most importantly, it is giving us the intuition we need to make more informed decisions."

In addition to driving impact, Sesame One is being shaped by leaders on the frontlines of the energy transition. Collaborations with strategic partners like Chevron have helped refine the platform's capabilities to meet real-world operational needs.

"Achieving a lower carbon energy future that's affordable and reliable requires better system-level intelligence that can enable better decision-making," said Vesna Mirkovic, Strategic Relationships Manager at Chevron. "Collaborating with Sesame in development of their technology has given Chevron the opportunity to help shape a platform that provides clear, actionable insights to help us better understand how emerging technologies integrate with existing assets and optimize system performance and emissions reduction. Sesame's technology has the potential to play a key role as the energy landscape evolves. We're excited to have the opportunity to be part of building this capability from the ground up."

From Spreadsheets to Strategic Advantage

Sesame One transforms energy planning by enabling users to:

• Navigate uncertainty with confidence: Build flexible strategies that remain robust across shifting policies, market conditions, and technology costs
• Accelerate analysis: Evaluate hundreds of scenarios in minutes rather than weeks
• Optimize capital allocation: Model power generation, storage, and low-carbon fuel investments with full-stack scenario planning
• De-risk major decisions: Apply sensitivity analysis and stress-testing to billion-dollar infrastructure strategies
• Keep plans dynamic and responsive: Move beyond static spreadsheets with living models that evolve in real time as new data and assumptions emerge
• Accelerate decarbonization: Model clean power supply across industrial facilities, manufacturing sites, and data centers with granular detail
• Integrate complex systems: Connect power systems planning with industrial operations, hydrogen production, CCUS deployment, and biofuel strategies

"We designed Sesame One for leaders making the hardest decisions in the energy transition. Every dollar, every megaton, every megawatt matters. This platform helps you move faster—without missing what matters most," said Emre Gençer, Co-Founder and CEO, Sesame Sustainability.
